New to the 3...kinda! (SP23)

aww that's too bad...the CX-7 is one of the few SUVs I would drive

idk all i like is the engine not feelin the inside nor the look! all i had b4 was trucks and SUVs i had an 05 Chevy Equinox, 04 Nissan Frontier, then 06 Chevy Colorado,now that gas sucks im on the 3. i def. miss feeling like the king of the road bc i was bigger that everyone else lol (drive2) now im always like (attn) fuk dont run me over when i c a lifter F-250 on my ass. lol
 
thats a nice ride man. hey if you ever get the rx8 rims becareful with the drop if you lower them, they tend to rub if you dont watch how big of a drop. also, if you do get them, you going to sell the stockers? =)

thanks for the advice on the rx-8 rims. I think I'm going to stay with 17's for now...I think... (eekdance)
 
wow that was quick... you have yourself another Mazda already.... thanks for staying loyal... just by looking at the parts available on protegegarage.com.... err... mazda3online.com for you specifically... its going to be a fun car to mod... especially since its a SP23...
hmm... and since your intake is in front, get ITBs... so that every time you open your hood.... you see those giant throttle bodies.... and yes you can still boost if you wanted.... but it wont be as showy...
i would pick the 2.3 if i had to get a new-used car if my P5 were out of commision

congrats once again
 
you know this is rediculous, but whats SP23? Im guessing its a chassi code, but whats its model specific?
 
SP23 is just a special trim level that came out only in 2005. I believe only 2000 were made? Heated leather seats, bose sound system, special badges, etc.

what is this ITB you speak of?
 
Individual Throttle Bodies
Even though its on a 4A-GE and a K motor... i bet itll look good still... its better for NA builds but people have used them for turbo builds

I'll be there! I just bought some Zaino z-9 and z-10 for the seats. I need to find out how to get dog hair out of the carpet though...it's really stubborn!

I installed a TWM short shifter yesterday though - it's awesome! (2thumbs) Install took under an hour and I didn't even have to crawl underneath the car for anything - the install takes place completely in the cabin. Soooo much easier...
 
ya, good luck with the dog hair! i still find some in the wifes explorer and there has been a dog in that car for 9 yrs!
